USA Today: The Equal Pay Act passed over 60 years ago. So, why do women still make less than men?

June 10. 2024


Deborah Vagins, ERA National Campaigns Director and Director of Equal Pay Today, is featured in a USA Today article about the 61st anniversary of the Equal Pay Act and the persistence of the gender wage gap:

Key factors sustaining the gender wage gap are workplace harassment, the lack of protection for parents and caregivers, segregation of men and women into different job types, and women entering the workplace after a history of earning lower or unequal wages, said Deborah Vagins, campaign director for the civil rights nonprofit Equal Rights Advocates and director of the national campaign Equal Pay Today.
